Everything shot for a listing

Six ways to show a property, chosen for what the listing actually needs.

A studio condo does not need a neighbourhood film, and a view lot is wasted without an aerial pass. HDR, twilight and aerial cover most visits on their own. Virtual tours, video and business portraits get added when the property, or the agent, calls for them.

Where every visit starts

HDR, twilight and aerial. Most listings need only these three.

Bracketed stills for the rooms, a short blue hour session for the frame people remember, and a low aerial pass for the context a street photo cannot give.

Where every package starts

HDR Photography

Every still is bracketed, several exposures of the same frame layered together, so a window keeps its view instead of blowing to a white rectangle while the room goes dark. That is what reads as wider, crisper and three dimensional on a listing thumbnail. Packages run from 10 photos up to 50 for homes up to 2,000 square feet, and verticals are kept straight throughout, because a leaning door frame reads as amateur even to someone who could not say why.

Twilight and Blue Hour

Shot in the short window between sunset and true dark, when the sky still holds colour and every lamp inside the house reads warm against it. It is the frame buyers stop scrolling on, because it is the only one that shows the house as somewhere you would live in the evening rather than tour on a Saturday. A blue hour session is added to a regular photo package and can be shot on the same visit or on its own evening, whichever the listing date allows.

Added to any package

Small fixes, added per photo.

None of these are packages on their own. They are add-ons, priced and applied per photo, so a shoot that only needs one fix does not pay for the whole set. Rates for each are on the pricing page.

Floor Plan
A scaled floor plan of the property, delivered alongside your photo or video package so buyers can see how the rooms connect before they walk in.
Sky Replacement
Swaps a flat grey day for a clean blue one, applied per photo, useful when the shoot lands on an overcast morning and the listing date will not move.
Grass Replacement
Greens a lawn that is out of season or patchy, applied photo by photo rather than across the whole set.
360 Dollhouse Tour

Community Amenity Photos
A set of photos covering the building's or neighbourhood's own amenities, pools, clubhouses, fitness centers and walking trails, for listings where the amenities are part of the pitch.
